I’m not sure who is on Twitter to see this, but LA has a 16-13 lead on Bulls to start first 5 minutes. Starting lineup doing the job early, with a bucket from all 5 starters. – 11:10 PM

Kawhi shoots 2-4 for 5 points. Ty Lue wanted a strong start and the Clippers came out hard before seeing their lead fall apart late.
